    Default lipo dissolve?

    I have a very small fat in my love and handles and lower tummy and wondering if anyone has experience with lipo dissolve since would be less invansive for the the type of fat I will be removing. Doctor told me it would like less than 1000cc's of fat all together. any experiences would be helpful...

    DON'T DO IT!!!!! I did it (actually in Las Vegas!) back in 2006, and I can tell you, just get lipo! I've had both, and for the price (I spent 5K on lipodissolve for mediocre results) regular lipo gives MUCH better results, MUCH faster, and CHEAPER!!! I had vibro lipo/smart lipo done together on my outer thighs last fall, and I am thrilled with my results! It was free for me, but I know the doctor charges around 2K, and I would totally spend that over doing lipodissolve treatments.

    What sucks about lipodissolve is first of all, you swell up BAD in the injection site for close to a week, and I don't care how much the doctor sugar coats it and says you don't, you do! You won't be able to work for a few days. Also, it takes a series of treatments to yield a somewhat noticeable result, it took me close to a year to even barely notice the lipodissolve results....where as liposuction, you notice a dramatic result within a few weeks, improving over the months, and the downtime is minimal! I was out shopping and walking around right after my surgery. I literally walked out of the doctors office right after my surgery! The technology has improved so much, it's not near as invasive as it used to be.

    I honestly wish I would've saved my 5K, that was such a huge waste of money! Not to mention, it's very debatable where that fat actually goes. The substance makes the fat cells "die'', explode, leak, whatever, but where does it go? They tell you your lymphatic system flushes it out and basically you pee, poop, and sweat your fat out.... BUT most doctors agree that this is not medically possible. The fat migrates to another part of your body, maybe viscerally, around your organs or in your arteries! Scary......

    By the way, I had lipodissolve in my love handles/flanks, lower tummy, and inner thighs. I had liposuction on my outer thighs, and now I want to go back and have my flanks and inner thighs lipo'd (with fat transfer to my ass), if that gives you an idea of my results with the lipodissolve!

    ^^^ Agreed, I want to see photos of J.D.s before & after photos. My hips aren't really bad yet, but I've seen women with really "pointy" lower hips/upper thigh areas & think to myself "if I ever put on much weight when I get older that's how I'll end up"... which scares the hell out of me! Here's an illustration of what I'm talking about. One of the clubs that I dance at there's a girl who looks a lot like me (same body build/lower hip issue) but she probably weighs about 80lbs more than I do. When I see her hips it's like looking at my potential future in the mirror. I know genetically that is a spot fat tends to build up on me, & I don't want to ever let it get to where that's the first thing people notice on me. Besides, it makes a huge difference in being able to fit into pants without struggling with the hip-to-waist ratio, which is already a pain for me.

    I wouldn't do lipo dissolve, I have never met anyone who was happy with their results.
    I had my worst lipo results with water -jet lipo (left wierd ridges) and my best results with traditional lipo followed directly after with vaser. Also be careful who you go to because once lipo goes wrong it is very hard and costly to revise.

    Would love to know who is your doctor... I am scared of the traditional lipo because I dont want to have lumps since I dont have that much fat but is encouraging to hear positive results.

    I had it done last week, but I only paid $90. Its much cheaper here than the US. I got a deal for lipodisolve and velasmooth through one of those daily deal type things. I cant say what the result is yet because I still have swelling. The doc who did it seemed to think I wouldnt need more treatments because the area I was looking at was pretty small to begin with. I wouldnt recommend it however because it was extremely painful and the swelling was terrible! I cant complain because it cost me basically nothing so was worth a try but I cant see my results yet because the swelling is still there.

    They inject Phosphatidylcholine and Deoxycholate into the area... tons via several injections. That part wasnt painful. It was the fact that my skin almost immediately swelled to 8X+ the size it usually is there. Im not kidding it hurt more than my breast implants. I took the pain killers from my breast surgery and they did nothing! I could barely sit and couldnt sleep on the area for 2 days. But after the swelling goes down its not painful. You have to massage the area for 6 weeks which is a little uncomfortable but not too bad. Even if I see I result I really wouldnt recommend it. Has anyone tried the ultrasonic caviation? My friend is going to do that one because I told her how painful lipodissolve was.
